Stage 1 env-update trouble with Gentoo 2005.0 [SOLVED]
Hello,
I've recently decided to take the plunge into a Stage 1 install of Gentoo in order to further my knowledge of Linux as a whole. I'm installing through Knoppix, and have been following the Handbook's instructions almost to a t (I had to make some adjustments, because my partition table is different than the one they use). Anyway, I've gotten to the point where I have chrooted into my incomplete Gentoo environment and have to run env-update. However, when I do so, I get this:
Since I have a strong suspicion it has something to do with it, here's my make.conf:#env-update
!!! Unexpected end of config file: variable yes"
!!! ParseError: Unexpected EOF: //etc/make.conf: on/before line 9 in //etc/make.conf
!!! Incorrect multiline literals can cause this. Do not use them.
It should be noted that the word at the end of "!!! Unexpected end of config file: variable" is always the last word of the make.conf file.# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built this stage
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="=march=pentium3 O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
MAKEOPTS="j2"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo ftp://gentoo.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/gentoo/ ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/d...utions/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.iawnet.sandia.gov/pub/gentoo/ ftp://cs.ubishops.ca/pub/gentoo
AUTOCLEAN="yes"
I'd really like to get this system going, so ANY help on this is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!

I think you have edited the CFLAGS incorrectly the O2 is there by default and you have added the O3 if I am incorrect then don't bother reading any further.
I also believe that the entry for CXXFLAGS should read as follows
Try this for more infoCode:CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

Hmm...that didn't work. Thanks for proofing my script, though.
EDIT: I fixed it, thanks to you. Your proofing led me to do some of my own, and I found that I was actually missing two quotation marks, which was giving me the error. Thanks a lot.
